Labor Day marks the end of the fiscal year for those who toil. It is the day of profit-taking for the worker. The books are closed, the balances

are struck and an inventory is made of Labor in the Calumet region has just past. Splendid strides forward

few set-backs. The situation may be summarized as follows: 1. The year has been one of comparative peace.

2. The pirates of organized labor in the ectrlcal workers' union have been discredited and" shorn of their power. A disturbing influence has been

removed. .. 3. In the trying controversy of proved themselves worthy of their leaders. '

The conduct of the union labor leaders during the past year has been such that they now receive and deserve to receive the confidence of every business man in the city. They have been builders, not destroyers. They

loon man in America when he read of the fate that befell the Gary man. It was with a light heart that the latter tripped Into his basement Thurs1 day afternoon. There was lightness In his heart and there was song on his lips. He was preparing to signalize the opening of the oyster season by feeding his friends a barrel of fancy Baltimore coves. From way up in the second story of his house he heard the live oysters In their shell "cackling" for something to eat. The bivalves were hungry and good soul that he was went down to feed them. But as he was dipping the appetizing salted cornmeal into the barrel one ungrateful oyster, a greedy one, too, opened Its shell with a loud smack, evidently expecting to get a mouthful. It got his fingers Instead and they were badly mangled. So, the oyster feast was postponed. We can imagine the demoralizing effect of this story upon the gentlemen whose business is to take care of the oysters which they hand out in the free lunch. Rather than see the abolition of the ' oyster altogether we would suggest that those who are to handle oysters wear rubber gloves. This will eliminate the peril that beset the Gary man.

A FAIR-MINDED EDITOR. It is a pleasure once in a while to pick up an Indiana paper outside of Lake county and see this region get fair treatment. Such a paper is the Marlon Chronicle, whose editor, George B. Lockwood, can stand off at a distance and Bee anything in its right perspective. In commenting on the story

this paper about improvements at Hobart, the Chronicle says; Annexation in Lake county has taken a new turn. The town of Hobart has asked the county commissioners to add to their municipality all' the land in Hobart township, a total of more than ten thousand acres. This acquisition wpuld give Hobart a territory of seventeen square miles. Hobart is planning a $55,000 sewer system, and a ?10,000 town jail. The Pennsylvania railroad is building a $20,000 depot at the place. Big things are doing In Lake county, and one of these days Lake county will be the most populous county in Indiana, with a population bearing the same relation to Chicago as that of Newark, N. J., does to New York City. The town v of Hobart ia becoming, in fact, almost continuously urban.

FROM HIS domain on the Calumet, in his strong klaxon voice, Colonel Tim Englehart calls on Promoter Seaman to hurry up, but Mr. Seaman simply sticks the thumb of his left hand to the tip of his nose and lets It go at that. ,

RANDOM THINQS AND FLINGS

THE blow has fallen. The hop crop is the shortest since 1882. EVIDENTLY Chairman Lee Is not after his job again the next two years. NOT quite all the time was spent in Inspecting the steam pump, you know. MR. Taft probably Wanted to start them to chattering and he certainly has succeeded. i THE way some rnen beat their wives they evidently think they fire a new white man's hope. SO far we are unable to inform you whether Uncle Joe Cannon went camping this year or not. MAN says his wife doesn't sing any more and is worried over It. Perhaps she has just found her senses. . WELL it was good to get back from the vacation and the humpy bed to your own little bunk, wasn't It? ATLANTA paper says "Dutch peo ple go crazy over her feet" Whose feet and what Chicago girl's feet? - : THE portrait of Mona Lisa has no been found yet in Laporte. but give Mr. Darlirig time. Probably he's too busy. WOODROW Wilson says that prohi bition Is not a political question. Well, no, not for a presidential candidate it isn't. S THE nights are so warm-blankety that nobody seems to be looking for ward to autumn with any degree of anticipation. &-1 1 i EAST Chicago man says there are many beggars there. Thought they were all In Hammond on Saturday nights. ' ' . , ' OYSTER Bay seems to be slowly be ing pushed off the map, undoubtedly causing a gnashing of a set of large white teeth. ''.' , OPERATIC impressarioB say they can't find any basses this year. What has Attorney D. E. Boone done with his quartette? ' POULTRY trust case now agitating the authorities. Suppose they w.lll have something to crow over when vOT. cotio that CONGRESSMAN Dixon says Marshall has an enviable place among the list of presidential candidates. Won't Mr. Cullop please say a word. PLYMOUTH editor is to be candl-1 date for IJeutenant governor on the democratic ticket. Why second place? Why not hitch your wagon to a star? , WOMEN, it is said, are opposing bridge favors. Still as the Hohman Btret bridge Is a new one, we feel that it should receive some consideration. IN quoting the old saw that "a fool and his njoney is soon parted," the Toledo Blade calls attention to the fact that he isn't called a fool until his money is gone. J. NO, if a doctor has attended the decedent, the coroner Is not supposed to inquire into the cause of death. That would be a violation of frofressional ethics, you know. - " NOTWITHSTANDING the interest of the wage-earners in this section as regards the city market question, the various city authorities yawn rather somnolently whenever any . one says "city market" to them. 9? WESTERN writer sets forth at great length that "the romance of marriage did not die with Paolo and Pelleas, nor is devotion and indifference to danger less stirring in the twentieth century than in the day of moats and drawbridges." Should say not. Look at the divorces filed in the Lake superior court.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAJVf KROrV

"The correctness with which a man pronounces" an old college professor used to tell all his classes, "is the hall mark of his culture and education." How do you think you would stand according to that criterion? It seems to me that very few people would be 100 point folks by that test. Perhaps you think my fecarks are unduly sweeping and unnecessarily harsh. Perhaps you think that you for Instance, do not very often make a mistake in pronunciation. Now before you pat yourself on the back, my friend, let me ask jrou how you pronounce a few words iike address, inquiry, alias, interesting, aspirant, grievous, harass, illustrate, precedence, resource. Look up your pronounciation of tnes words in the dictionary and If you .have them all rleht T humblv tear - r , our paraon. But 1 11 wager I won't navelO. I Of course, the common words which could hardly be pronounced In more j than one way most of us get right. ! Only children and distinctly ignorant people make errors in these. But , there are many words which are com monly pronounced two or three ways and yet which should properly be pronounced only one way. When a man pronounces all these words properly he has certainly earned his window in me wan or culture. But how few people do. Of course, It, would be almost Impossible to sit down and -corral these Next morning he received a letter from his parents, la Evansville, saying their home had burned at about the same hour of the fire here. Thurnham had $600 Invested in the home at Evansville.

words all at once and learn, to pronounce-them aright. v5-"i But one can make an effort J to notice different pronunciations in the course of conversation and then "hunt out the right one and make it one's own. That's the hardest way, but like most hardest ways, it's the only sure one. It isn't safe to adopt a pronunciation because you hear someone you think is well educated using It. Many people who ought to know better cling firmly to faulty pronunciations. . Nor Is It safe to adopt a pronunciation because it :' sounds "high-brow." You are very apt to get caught thla way. For instance, I think "in-quiry" sound most "college-professory," but aa a matter of fact "inquir-y" has tha weight or authority. And again, "precedence" certainly sounds punctilliously correct, but "preced-enee" really is the right pronunciation. If you care to hunt down soma of these words I think you will find the chase rather interesting. Of course there's the drawback that even if you do learn to pronounce correctly ninety-nine hundredths of the people who hear you won't know you are doing so. But cheer up. Think how the other one hundredth will appreciate such a rarity. j Besides, you know, krfowledge as well as virtue. Is, or surely ought to be, its own reward. RUTH CAMERON.
